A problem concerning the Kia Sportage Diesel.

Model: Kia Sportage QL, MK 4 - Years 2016-2022
Part: Engine oil

In this video, we can see a problem that affects diesel cars (not just the Kia Sportage) that have issues with regeneration. In fact, these cars have a problem where, during failed regenerations of the particulate filter, diesel contaminates the engine oil; in this way, the engine oil - which the YouTuber shows us to be well above the maximum level mark - ends up being "stretched" by the diesel and therefore loses its lubricating characteristics, causing serious damage to the engine. It is therefore essential to carefully check the oil level and make frequent changes to avoid this problem.

How to Check the Oil Level on a Jeep Renegade?

To check the oil level on a Jeep Renegade, you need to open the bonnet to access the components inside the engine bay: on the lower left side of the engine block, you will find the dipstick for checking the level. This should be pulled out and thoroughly cleaned with a cloth: once cleaned, reinsert it back into its tube and pull it out immediately after. This way, you can check that the oil mark is between the minimum and maximum levels; finally, you can place the dipstick back in its tube.
